Spotlight: Enchanted (2007)

Finally bowing out of the top ten was Disney's well-reviewed family comedy Enchanted, which has grossed a magical $119.8 million domestically and an additional $110.6 million overseas. Starring Amy Adams, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy, Enchanted became the family film sleeper hit of the Holidays thanks to solid reviews and strong word of mouth.

Debuting with $50 million over its first five days, Enchanted became the second biggest opening ever over the Thanksgiving Holiday frame, behind only 1999's Toy Story 2 (also released by Disney) with $80.1 million. The film is now the sixth highest grossing PG-rated film released in 2007, just behind the $125.2 million tally of Paramount/DreamWorks' Bee Movie. Look for the Kevin Lima directed pic to finish with $130 million domestically. Disney will release the film on DVD and Bluray around Easter time.
